GOAT nears $100M domestic
Sony’s animated GOAT sits just under $100M domestic after Thursday’s cumulative tally of $98.67M, positioning it to clear a significant studio milestone this weekend. Strong animated holds continue to be a reliable theatrical driver in 2026’s mixed box‑office landscape. (x.com)
Box Office Mojo lists GOAT’s domestic at $98,403,032 and worldwide at $175,407,844 as of March 28, 2026. (boxofficemojo.com) The production budget is reported at $80–90 million, with production partners including Sony Pictures Animation, Columbia Pictures and Stephen Curry’s Unanimous Media, and Curry also appears in the cast. (en.wikipedia.org) GOAT opened domestically to $27,202,138 from a 3,863‑theater launch, and early four‑day Presidents’ Day estimates put its opening frame near $50.6 million. (boxofficemojo.com) Trade outlets flagged GOAT’s second‑weekend hold — a roughly 36% decline from opening weekend — as a sign of steady family legs rather than blockbuster front‑loaded demand. (animationmagazine.net) On raw economics, the film’s ~$175.4M worldwide gross sits about 1.9–2.2 times the reported $80–90M production budget. (boxofficemojo.com) If GOAT clears the $100M domestic threshold this weekend it will join Sony releases that have exceeded $100M at home, alongside recent tentpoles such as Spider‑Man: Across the Spider‑Verse and legacy hits like Hotel Transylvania. (boxofficemojo.com) Industry coverage frames GOAT as evidence that original animated features with strong family holds remain dependable theatrical drivers in 2026’s mixed slate, a point underscored across Cartoon Brew and IndieWire box‑office analyses.
